Another "Stand Your Ground" defense has been successfully argued in Southwest Florida.

The State Attorney's Office said Thursday that James Taylor was justified in shooting 33-year-old Ryan Modell last March because Taylor was defending his home.

Modell's father is outraged by the decision.

Sandy Modell wanted a grand jury to decide if murder charges should be filed. Instead, the state attorney decided the "Stand Your Ground" law applied to the case.

The decision came the day after Sandy Modell confronted Chief Assistant State Attorney Amira Fox about the case.

"My son was murdered in March of last year," Modell told her Wednesday. "If you can't make a decision, take it to a grand jury."

There's no dispute Taylor killed Ryan Modell. In fact, he admitted to shooting the man who tried to come into his condo early one morning. But Sandy Modell said, "it now looks like it was premeditated murder."

He spoke with NBC2 Thursday after the decision, talking about the new details released by the SAO.

"The facts as the State Attorney's Office presented them this morning are more egregious than I had understood before," he said.

The report said Ryan Modell's blood was found in Taylor's doorway after Taylor slammed the door on his foot when Modell tried to enter the house. Taylor then went back inside to grab his gun.

Taylor eventually shot Modell, who he and witnesses said was rushing toward him.

"The mission statement says they speak for the victim, but they don't," Sandy Modell said.

He's still having a hard time understanding the decision.

"They've got a lot of priorities there, and justice for my son doesn't seem to be on the list, so it stays on my list."

The SAO report states Ryan Modell was highly intoxicated at the time of the shooting. He had been at a party at the Emerson Square complex and was reportedly headed to his girlfriend's condo, instead mistaking Taylor's for his own. The SAO report said Taylor and Modell have the same unit number but their units are in separate buildings.

"It is reasonable to surmise that Modell mistook Taylor's home for his own home, at least in part based on his heightened level of intoxication," the SAO report states.

The SAO said they have a previously scheduled appointment with Sandy Modell and his attorney in the future to discuss their conclusions of the case.
